   Summary

   “It should be weird, he muses as he turns to switch off his nightstand light. Going to bed together feels different than what they've been doing so far. It should feel weird, he knows it should, but all he can feel as he closes his eyes and listens to Jeremy's breath evening out next to him, is peace.”
   At some point during that long, magicless summer, Matt and Jeremy start sharing a bed.

   Or: a season 6 retelling of sorts.
